In a dramatic week in Washington, one of the most high-profile members of the Senate Intelligence Committee has become Independent Sen. Angus King. The senator from Maine made national headlines for his tough questioning of top intelligence officials and former FBI Director James Comey.

"The investigation isn't over," King during a veterans event in Bangor Friday.

King said the next steps in the Senate's Russia investigation include questioning Jared Kushner, the son-in-law and senior advisor of President Donald Trump; Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort; his longtime confidante, Roger Stone; and attempting to speak with Michael Flynn, Trump's former national security adviser.

"We'll just have to see where the facts lead," said King, who stopped short of calling Comey's testimony a case for obstruction of justice charges against the president.
